PLAYER NO98
Name: Diogo Goncalves
Original Team: Benfica B
Best Position: Attacking Midfielder Right
Best Attribute: Crossing/Acceleration/Dribbling
Bio: Admittedly, it does depend on the players development as he is unknown when the game starts. But if handled correctly.
This could be a rare gem of a player and a superstar. He can play on both flanks, but I opted to play him mostly right attacking midfield in a 4231 formation. Or occasionally on the right of a front three in a 433 formation.
He is like an old fashioned winger who hugs the touchline. His blistering pace was a real asset. But with his skill to blow past players, superb crossing ability and an eye for a goal. He was almost unplayable at times.
I would urge you to snap him up early, then put him through a good development system. As either way, you cannot go wrong and it will pay dividends, whether he plays several years in your team or you sell him.
I tried to hold onto him for a long as possible but such was his world class abilities to create goal scoring chance after goal scoring chance. I couldn’t resist Chelsea’s advances of £108m to sell him. Reluctantly, as a 29 year old.
He won umpteenth about of individual honours, including player and players player of the year. Was a stand out Portuguese international and even won best player at the World Cup.
